Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and prepared goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
