Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
