Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
