Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
