Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
