Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And chosen goblets. 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains - how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
