Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it was 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 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
