Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
