Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions lined up 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
