Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 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 will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
