Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
