Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 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 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
