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, 2 be toiling and worn-out; 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Neither nourishing nor banishing hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 In an elevated garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 and couches raised high, 13 and prepared goblets, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And how the earth was outstretched? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 Then it will be for Us to call them to account. 26
