Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains - how they have been established? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
