Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions ranged 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
