Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
