Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
