Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) 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 the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
