Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
