Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most 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 shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
