Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
