Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
