Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were 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 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
