Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
