Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Scorched by 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 will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
