Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Will they not regard the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
