Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
