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, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 cushions ranged, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
