Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
