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 Some faces will on that Day be downcast, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 no food for them but cactus thorn 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces, that Day, will be joyful, 8 and pleased with the result of their deeds in the past. 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 with a flowing spring, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions lined up 15 and well spread carpets. 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
