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 the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 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 a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
