Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, weary, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
