Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
