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 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 therein a running fountain, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
