Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, 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 in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
