Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
