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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
