Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
