Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
