Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
