Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
