Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
