Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
