Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
