Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
