Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
