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 a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
