Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
