Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Travailing, worn. 3 they shall enter a burning Fire 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 In that day other faces will be calm, 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 in a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions ranged, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
