Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will 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
