Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
