Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 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 most terrible chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Ours is surely then to reckon with them. 26
