Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 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 their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
