Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
