Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
