Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
