Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
