Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
