Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
