Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
