Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
