Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
