Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
