Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
