Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Well-pleased because of their striving, 9 In a high Garden 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the Sky, how it is raised high?- 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
