Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
