Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
