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 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Toiling, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
