Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
