Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 therein uplifted couches 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
