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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
