Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
