Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
