Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 Some faces that Day shall be downcast with fear, 2 labouring, weary, 3 they shall burn in a Scorching Fire; 4 They will be given drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a high Garden 10 Never hearing idle talk. 11 In it is a flowing spring. 12 raised couches, 13 well arranged goblets, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and carpets outspread. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains – how they have been established? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 And so, [O Prophet,] exhort them; thy task is only to exhort: 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whosoever will turn back and disbelieve 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
