Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
