Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
