Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 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 how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
