Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit 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 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
