Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
