Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
