Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
