Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing 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 on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
