Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Yet, going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
