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 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 watered at a boiling fountain, 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 Pleased with their striving,- 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets outspread. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
