Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains - how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
