Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
