Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
