Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
