Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many faces will be joyous on that day, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a sublime garden, 10 Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech. 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 Within it are couches raised high 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
