Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
