Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
