Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
