Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
