Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
