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 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
