Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions lined up 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
