Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 However, as for him who turns away, being bent on denying the truth, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
