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 laboring, wornout, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
