Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
