Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
