Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and prepared goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 you are not their keeper. 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 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
