Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
