Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and outspread carpets. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth - how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
