Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets outspread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
