Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
