Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
