Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
