Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
HAS NEWS OF the Overpowering Event reached you? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
