Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and outspread carpets. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
