هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ ( 1 ) 
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَاشِعَةٌ ( 2 )
[Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,
عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ ( 3 )
Working [hard] and exhausted.
تَصْلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةً ( 4 )
They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.
تُسْقَىٰ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ ( 5 )
They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِن ضَرِيعٍ ( 6 )
For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant
لَّا يُسْمِنُ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِن جُوعٍ ( 7 )
Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاعِمَةٌ ( 8 )
[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.
لِّسَعْيِهَا رَاضِيَةٌ ( 9 )
With their effort [they are] satisfied
فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ ( 10 )
In an elevated garden,
لَّا تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا لَاغِيَةً ( 11 )
Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.
فِيهَا عَيْنٌ جَارِيَةٌ ( 12 )
Within it is a flowing spring.
فِيهَا سُرُرٌ مَّرْفُوعَةٌ ( 13 )
Within it are couches raised high
وَأَكْوَابٌ مَّوْضُوعَةٌ ( 14 )
And cups put in place
وَنَمَارِقُ مَصْفُوفَةٌ ( 15 )
And cushions lined up
وَزَرَابِيُّ مَبْثُوثَةٌ ( 16 )
And carpets spread around.
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ( 17 )
Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?
وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ( 18 )
And at the sky - how it is raised?
وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ( 19 )
And at the mountains - how they are erected?
وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ( 20 )
And at the earth - how it is spread out?
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ ( 21 )
So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُصَيْطِرٍ ( 22 )
You are not over them a controller.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ ( 23 )
However, he who turns away and disbelieves -
فَيُعَذِّبُهُ اللَّهُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَكْبَرَ ( 24 )
Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.
إِنَّ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابَهُمْ ( 25 )
Indeed, to Us is their return.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابَهُم ( 26 )
Then indeed, upon Us is their account.

- Islam Its Foundations and ConceptsThe author said in the introduction, “I write this book to invite people to the religion of Allaah … I briefly explained herein the story of the creation of the Universe, the creation of man and how he was favoured by sending Messengers to him and situation of past religions. I afterwards made an introduction to Islaam as per its meaning and pillars. So, whoever is looking for guidance will find its evidences therein, whoever is looking for salvation may find that I have explained the way to it in this book, whoever desires to follow the track of the Prophets, Messengers and righteous people will find their path herein while those who turn away from their way only befools themselves and take to the straying path. It is a matter of fact that adherents of each religion call others to it and believe that truth only abide in their religion … Thousands of those who embraced Islaam have testified that they did not know real life until after they embraced Islaam and that they did never tasted happiness except under the shade of Islaam. Since it is a fact that every human being looks for happiness, peace of mind and truth, I prepare this work to help them achieve that. I pray that Allaah makes this work purely for His sake and let it be well-accepted and make it one of those righteous deeds that will benefit its doer in this world and the next.”
