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 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
