Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
