Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
