Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
