Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and couches raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
