Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
