Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions lined up 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
