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 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
