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 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 their drink shall be from a boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food except bitter dry thorns 6 Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein is a fountain flowing, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they not look at the camels, how they are created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Admonish thou then; thou art but an admonisher. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
