Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
