Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 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 fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
