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 the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They will have no food except bitter thorn, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
