Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 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
