Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And linen spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
