Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
