Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Many a face will be disgraced on that day. 2 laboring, wornout, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 Given to drink of a spring fiercely boiling. 5 They will have no food other than bitter and thorny fruit 6 Which doth not nourish nor release from hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 In a high Garden. 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Within it is a flowing spring. 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 Goblets set, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 and carpets spread out. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And at the sky - how it is raised? 18 and on the mountains, how they are firmly set up, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Then remind them! Thou art only a reminder; 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
