Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
