Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
