Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
