Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
