Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
