Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
