Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Drinking from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Countless springs will flow therein, 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And cups set at hand. 14 and arranged cushions 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 And the earth – how it has been spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed only towards Us is their return 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
