Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
