Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 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
