Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
