Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 labouring, weary, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
