Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
