Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
