Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
