Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
