Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions ranged 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
