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, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
