Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
