Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
