Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
