Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
