Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
