Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
