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 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 The while they enter the Blazing 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 neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 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 at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
