Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a high Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 raised couches, 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
