Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
