Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And linen spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
