Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a 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 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and prepared goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
