Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
