Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
