Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated, 2 labouring, weary, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 Where they hear no idle speech, 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 and raised couches, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 However, those who turn away and disbelieve, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Verily unto Us is their return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
