Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
