Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
