Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
