Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
