Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups set at hand. 14 Cushions arranged, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
