Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 Labouring (hard in the worldly life by worshipping others besides Allah), weary (in the Hereafter with humility and disgrace). 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food for them save the bitterness of dry thorns, 6 which neither sustains, nor satisfy hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In a high Garden. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions lined up 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then verily on Us is their reckoning. 26
