Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
