Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 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 warden over them, 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
