Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
