Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
