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 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
