Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
