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 Faces on that Day shall be downcast, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Burning in the scorching fire, 4 Made to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 which will neither fatten them nor satisfy them. 7 [And] some faces will on that Day shine with bliss, 8 Glad with their endeavour (for their good deeds which they did in this world, along with the true Faith of Islamic Monotheism). 9 They shall be in a Garden lofty: 10 In which they will not hear any lewd speech. 11 Therein will be a bubbling spring: 12 In which are high thrones. 13 and goblets placed ready, 14 And arranged carpets. 15 and rich carpets levelled out. 16 Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And at the earth, how it is outspread? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 you are not their keeper. 22 Other than him who turns his back and denies, 23 God will punish them with the greatest torment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account. 26
