Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
