Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, 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 shall enter a burning Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
