Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
