Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
