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 (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Yet, going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
