Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
