Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 Travailing, worn. 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 Cushions arranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
