Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 laboring, wornout, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 with a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
