Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
