Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
