Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
