Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
