Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In the high empyrean, 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
