Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Wherein is a gushing spring, 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 well-placed cushions, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
