Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
