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 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 In a lofty garden, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 And cups put in place 14 cushions ranged, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
