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 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
