Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 well-pleased with [the fruit of] their striving, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and raised couches, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
