Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and arranged cushions 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
