Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
