Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
