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 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein they shall hear no vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
