Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
