Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
