Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
