Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
