Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
