Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
