Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
