Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
