Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
