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 labouring, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
