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 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
