Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially 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 labouring, toilworn, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
