Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
