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 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
