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, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
