Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Have you heard the story of the overwhelming event (the Day of Judgment)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and couches raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
