Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 and outspread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel - how it has been created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
