Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 you are not their keeper. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
