Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden 10 They shall hear therein no vain discourse; 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it was spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
