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 laboring, wornout, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
