Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
