Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions ranged! 15 and carpets outspread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
