Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
