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 shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
