Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
