Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
