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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
