Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 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 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
