Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
