Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
