Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
