Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring, wearied out, 3 They will suffer the heat of the blazing fire 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 which gives no strength and neither stills hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
