Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated (in the Hell-fire, i.e. the faces of all disbelievers, Jews and Christians, etc.). 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Going into the blazing fire. 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 They will live in an exalted garden 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the heaven - how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted? 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do remind, for you are only a reminder. 21 You are not charged to oversee them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
