Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 with a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
