Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
