Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 unfattening, unappeasing hunger. 7 Faces on that Day shall be delighted, 8 Well-pleased with their endeavour, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And chosen goblets. 14 And cushions lined up 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 And the heaven – how it has been raised? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 Therefore remind, you are only a Reminder. 21 You are not at all a guardian over them. 22 Except whoever turns away and disbelieves – 23 him will God cause to suffer the greatest suffering [in the life to come]: 24 for behold, unto Us will be their return, 25 Then, surely, it is for Us to call them to account. 26
