Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
