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 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 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 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
