Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 well arranged goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
