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 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 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 will neither fatten nor avail against hunger. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk, 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And chosen goblets. 14 and arranged cushions 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 And at the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 and on the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 To Us is surely their returning; 25 and then it is for Us to call them to account. 26
