Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set forth 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
