Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
