Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
