Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
