Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
