Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 And goblets set at hand 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
