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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
