Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 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 one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
