Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
