Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
