Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth: how it was spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
