Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
