Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 that is fueled from a tremendously hot fountain, 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 On that very Day some faces shall be radiant with joy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 Wherein you shall not hear vain talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions lined up 15 And carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth, how it is 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 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
