Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
