Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
