Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and arranged cushions 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
