Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups put in place 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
