Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
