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 humbled, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 and couches raised high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 And cushions ranged 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 So do they not see the camel – how it has been created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 you are not their keeper. 22 But whoever turns back and denies the truth, 23 Allah will chastise him with the most terrible chastisement. 24 Certainly, it is to Us that they will return. 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
