Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
