Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
