Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
