Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
