Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
