Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most 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 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
