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 shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
