Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
