Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
