Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
