Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
