Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
