Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
