Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
