Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 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 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
