Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
