Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
