Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
