Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
