Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
