Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day, there shall be downcast faces, 2 Working [hard] and exhausted. 3 Entering into burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 No food for them save bitter thorn-fruit 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 well pleased with their striving, 9 In the high empyrean, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 And within it are couches placed on high, 13 Goblets set, 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 Do (these unbelievers) not observe the camels: how they were created? 17 And how the heaven was raised up, 18 And the mountains, how they were fixed; 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 So remind them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), you are only a one who reminds. 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Verily, to Us will be their return; 25 Then indeed only upon Us is their reckoning. 26
