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 faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
