Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been 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 is made a vast expanse? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
