Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
