Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
