Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
