Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
