Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
