Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with 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 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
