Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
