Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Have you heard about the Overwhelming Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 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 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
