Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
