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 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
