Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
