Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
