Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
