Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
