Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
