Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
