Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and arranged cushions 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
