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 Faces on that day humbled, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 roasting at a scorching Fire 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which neither give strength nor satisfy the hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets set at hand 14 And cushions ranged 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And at the mountains, how firmly they are reared? 19 And at the Earth, how it is spread out? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us they shall return, 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
