Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
