Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely 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 the result of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
