Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
