Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
