Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 therein uplifted couches 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
