Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that day the faces of some people will be humbly cast down, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 Made 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 [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. 8 with their striving well-pleased, 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 and couches raised high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And carpets spread out. 16 Look they not at the camels, how they are created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
