Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee 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 it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
