Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
