Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
