Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
