Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains - how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
