Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
