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 that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
