Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
