Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
