Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a high Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
