Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
