Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
