Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
