Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
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 laboring, wornout, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
