Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
