Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
