Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
