Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
