Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
