Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
