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 be toiling and worn-out; 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 how heaven was lifted up, 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 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 upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
