Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
