Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
