Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 well arranged goblets, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
