Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 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 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
