Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
