Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
