Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
