Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
