Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
