Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
