Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets spread out. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
