Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most 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 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
