Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets 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 at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
