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 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 well-pleased with their striving. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 therein uplifted couches 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Lo! unto Us is their return 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
