Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 you are not their keeper. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
