Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
