Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
