Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 labouring, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 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 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
