Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And linen spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
