Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
