Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 And linen spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
