Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
