Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
