Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
