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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 labouring, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 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 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
