Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
