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 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
