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 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and well spread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
