Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
