Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
