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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
