Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
