Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
