Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
