Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
