Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets set, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
