Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 labouring, weary, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 Some faces on that Day will be radiant, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 A gushing fountain shall be there 12 raised couches, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
