Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
