Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
