Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
