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 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they not then ponder how the clouds were formed; 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
