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 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
