Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
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 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
