Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 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 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
