Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
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, toilworn, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
