Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
