Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And linen spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
