Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
