Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
