Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 and cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
