Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
