Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
