Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
