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 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups put in place 14 well-placed cushions, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
