Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 they shall have no food but thorns, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 Faces on that day jocund, 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Wherein are couches raised 13 Goblets set, 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not a dictator over them. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 In which case he will be punished by God with the severest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
