Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
