Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
