Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
