Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
