Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
