Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 labouring, toilworn, 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 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 a lofty garden, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 and goblets set at hand, 14 and arranged cushions 15 And carpets spread around. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not a watcher over them; 22 But he who turns his back, and disbelieves, 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
