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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
