Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
