Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
