Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
