Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
