Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
