Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
