Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
