Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
