Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
