Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
