Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
