Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
