Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
