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 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
