Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
