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 the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
