Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 with a flowing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
