Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
