Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
