Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 Toiling, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
