Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 toiling [under burdens of sin,] worn out [by fear,] 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a high Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 cushions ranged, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
