Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
