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 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 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 with their endeavour, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and outspread carpets. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
