Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
