Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
