Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions lined up 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
