Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
