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 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
