Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
