Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
