Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
