Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 you are not their keeper. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
