Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
