Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
