Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
