Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and couches raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
