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 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 with a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And cushions set in a row, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Allah will punish him with direst punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
