The Qur'an (Pickthall) · Meccan
88. Al-Ghaashiya
The Overwhelming · 26 verses
1 Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming
2 On that day (many) faces will be downcast
3 Toiling, weary
4 Scorched by burning fire
5 Drinking from a boiling spring
6 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit
7 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger
8 In that day other faces will be calm
9 Glad for their effort past
10 In a high Garden
11 Where they hear no idle speech
12 Wherein is a gushing spring
13 Wherein are couches raised
14 And goblets set at hand
15 And cushions ranged
16 And silken carpets spread
17 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created
18 And the heaven, how it is raised
19 And the hills, how they are set up
20 And the earth, how it is spread
21 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer
22 Thou art not at all a warder over them
23 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth
24 Allah will punish him with direst punishment
25 Lo! unto Us is their return
26 And Ours their reckoning
