Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
