Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
