Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 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 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
