Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
