Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
