Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
