Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
