Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the 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 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
