Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee the story of the Enveloping Event? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
