Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
