Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
