Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
