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 humbled, 2 troubled and tired as a result of their deeds in the past. 3 The while they enter the Blazing Fire,- 4 and will be made to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari' 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Whereas other) faces on that Day will be joyful, 8 well pleased with the result of their striving, 9 In a Garden on high, 10 Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood, 11 In it there shall be a flowing spring, 12 Therein shall be couches elevated! 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 And cushions ranged 15 And silken carpets spread. 16 What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? 17 And the heaven, how it is raised? 18 And at the mountains, how they are rooted and fixed firm? 19 how the earth was outstretched? 20 Remind them; you are surely a reminder. 21 Thou art not over them a warden. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Surely to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
