Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In the high empyrean, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
