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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
