Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets 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 on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
