Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
