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 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will enter in the hot 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 will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at 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 You are not a watcher over them; 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
