Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden. 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
