Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And 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 high?- 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
