Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
