Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
