Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
