Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Certainly the news of the calamity that will overwhelm has come to you! 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
