Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a high Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
