Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
