Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
