Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
