Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
