Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 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 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
