Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
