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 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire. 4 and will be made to drink 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 jocund, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 Therein will be a running spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 As for those who turn their back and disbelieve, 23 Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment, 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
