Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
