Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
