Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
