Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
