Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
