Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
