Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions lined up 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
