Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
