Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
