Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made to drink water from the boiling hot spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 in a garden sublime, 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 raised couches, 13 And drinking-cups ready placed, 14 And arranged carpets. 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 fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
