Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
