Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 in a garden sublime, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
