Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
