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 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 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 at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
