Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
