Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
