Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
