Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? 1 On that Day faces shall be humbled, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 Given water from the boiling spring to drink. 5 They shall have no food but of thorns, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 (Other) faces that Day will be joyful, 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 They will be in a lofty Garden 10 Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity: 11 therein a running fountain, 12 In which are high thrones. 13 Goblets placed (ready), 14 and arranged cushions 15 and carpets spread out. 16 DO, THEN, they [who deny resurrection] never gaze at the clouds pregnant with water, [and observe] how they are created? 17 And at the sky, how it is raised aloft? 18 And the mountains: how they were fixed? 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 So, [O Prophet] exhort them: your task is only to exhort, 21 thou art not charged to oversee them. 22 But whoever turns back and disbelieves, 23 Him Allah shall torment with the greatest torment. 24 Surely to Us is their turning back, 25 Then indeed, upon Us is their account. 26
