Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
