Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
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 Scorched by burning fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread around. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
