Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
