Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 roasting at a scorching fire, 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which shall neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 and goblets set forth 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 and are not invested with the authority to compel them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
