Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
