Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Look they not at 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 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
