Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
