Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
