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, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 and raised couches, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 and cushions arrayed 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 how the mountains are set firm, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs. 22 But if any turn away and reject Allah,- 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
