Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
