Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
