Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
