Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
