Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
