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 shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
