Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
