Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
