Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
