Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
