Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
