Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
