Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
