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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
