Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 cushions ranged, 15 and outspread carpets. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
