Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
