Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
