Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
