Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
