Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
