Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
