Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
