Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
