Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And linen spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
