Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
