Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
