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 shall be downcast with fear, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
