Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
