Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
