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 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
