Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
