Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
