Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
