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, there shall be downcast faces, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
